I use a different approach. In the interest of First Failure Data Capture, I obtain four storage cushions, above and below the line, and in high and low private, and release them on entry to ESTAE. This allows for all normal LOGREC recording, taking an SDUMP, etc., even if there was a storage constraint which caused no SDWA to be present.

Then alter the contents of R0 so that your test for no SDWA will be successful and see if your code to handle that condition (immediately percolate is a very good idea of what your code should do) works correctly.

The only time you won't get an SDWA is in cases of storage exhaustion and a likely cause of that is error recursion due to "creative" recovery efforts. The safest thing to do in that case is to immediately percolate. -- This email might be from the artist formerly known as CC (or not) You be the judge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
